Capt dwight and his corps reached Green.
wood last Monday evening and pitched their
tents little beyond Rev. Mr.. Matthew's
house. They surveyed line through the town
on Tuesday and are now pushing on towards
Abbeville. The line enters town near the
Presbyterian parsonage, crosses the 6 l.. e. S
below 1t, runs back Of Mr. Oldham's and
crosses the Z. & &: near Mr.. Isaac's. 1t Is no,
positively settled that this will be the route
taken but it Is generally thought very pro-
bable as to enter the town In any othor di.
rection would be much more difficulty and
expensive. The business men greatly prefer
that the depot should he located near those o
the other roads as possible. Capt. Dwight who
has surveyed the line from Chester here. tells
us that while 1t is pretty rough In some places
1t Is much better than he expected. The dis
tance is about 10 miles.

Too Indulgent.

Many of our readers long past the
schooi-boy and girl age will remember
that thrilling story of McGuffey's old
first or second ola little boy named
Henry, who one day wanted certain
white rose he saw OH bush. His
nurse would not at first let him have
it, but did so after Henry had cried
long time. 1t happened to be thorny
rose.
Little Henry hurt his hand so badly
that he cried louder than before. So,
the story said, from that time on to
Ills dying day Henry had only to look
at his right hand and think Of the rose
when he wanted to deny himself any
thing he ought not to have; q narra-
tive that has caused many parents to
wish that their children would some
times get both hands full Of thorny
roses.
Here is a story of more modern orr.
gin, with the same moral, and even
moro gratifying results Immediately
following the boys perverseuess:
Among the passengers ON the st.
Louis Express, recently was woman
very much overdressed, accompanied
by bright-looking nurse girl, and
self-willed, tyrannical boy Of about
three years. The boy aroused the In
dignation Of the passengers by his con-
tinued shrieks and kicks and screams,
and his viciousness toward the patient
nurse. He tore her bonnet, scratched
her hands, and finally spat In her face
without word of remonstrance from
the mother. Whenever the nurse

Finally the mother composed her.

boy had slapped the nurse for the IF.
tieth time, a wasp came sailing in and
flew on the window of the nurses
seat. The boy at once tried to catch
it. The nurse caught his hand, and
said, coaxingly: ~
Harry mustn't touch! Bug will
bite Harry" -
Harry screamed savagely, and began
to kick and pound the nurse. The
mother, without opening her eyes or
lifting her head, cried out, sharply:
"Why will you tease that child 30,
Mary? Let him have what he wants
at once ?n ..
"But, ma'am it's "a"
"Let him have 1t, say"
Thus encouraged, Harry clutched at

1t Is mentioned rs one Of the distinguishing
features of DR.. kerr's character (late editor OF
the United PreSbyteriun) that 1t wus "a princi-
pie with him to resist all temptation to inac.
tivity, and he counted IL both Christian and
good policy 10 avoid angry disputes on any
subject" In this he was noble example to
all editors and controvcrsialists. Too often
when reviled they revile again and the cause
of truth Is more damaged by the spirit with
which IT Is defended than 1t would have been
by the undisputed victory of error. It's trl
umph must be short, but the wound inflicted
on Christianity by bitter elimination and re
elimination Is lasting.-Associate Reformed
